The appointment of a federal judge
for the Southern district of Georgia
seems to be giving the department o!
justice all kinds of trouble. It doesn’t
seem to be such an easy job after al;
to find a Republican in South Georgia
to measure up to the requirements o!
a federal judge, at least the woods are
not full of them.
The Georgia political pot refuses to
come to the boiling point, candidates
having stirred up but litf'.a commo
tion at this stage of the game. Farm
ers are too busy figuring out how they
,are coming out at harvest time to look
after the other fellow’s welfare. The
woman hold the balance of power
anyhow, so what's the use?
The suggestion that R. V. Crine, one
of Glynn’s most scientific and succes
ful farmers, be urged to allow the usr
of his name as a legislative candidate
has met with spontaneous approval
throughout the county, not only in the
rural districts, but in this city. Mr
Cruie is imbued with the spirit of pro
gressiveness, is ambitious to place hi;
county in the front ranks of the agri
cultural counties of the stated a|ul I:
altogether an ideal citizen. He Would
be a credit to this county in the lower
house of the legislature and Un
friends, it is understood, will prevail
upon him to make the race, feeling
that they need a representative of al
classes in the Georgia legislature.

GLYNN COUNTY SCHOOLS.
The closing exercises of the Glynn
schools, having their climax with the
graduation of approximately twenty
five bright young men and women at
the First Baptist church Tuesday
evening, marks one of the most sue- i
cessful semesters in the history of,
Glynn’s superb public school system.
Although there are several coun
ties in this section of the state having
a larger population, there are none
that can excel, if equal, Glynns educa-
tional facilities. This has long been
a hobby with the progressive citizens
of this city and county and they have
at last witnessed the accomplishment
of that for which they have long strug
gled—a magnificent public school sys
tem. This was made possible by de
termined, tireless efforts and the ex
penditure of much money.
When the proposition of submitting
a bond issue to the amount of $175,000
to the electorate of Glynn county for
the purpose or building a great mem
orial school, and the building and re
modeling of other school buildings, it
was endorsed at the polls almost unan
imously. Within a few months the
Risley Junior High chool, for colored
youth, and the memorial school build
ing will have been completed, and this
will easily place Glynn county far
ahead of any in the state, population
considered, in the matter of school
buildings.
The faculties of the various schools
of the city and county could not be ex
celled, as the progress made by the pu
pils of these institutions give unmis
takahle evidence of their superior
tutelage. Superintendent Charles F.
Dryden and the Hoard of Education
richly deserve the many encomiums
that, have been heaped upon them for
(heir indefatigable efforts in bringing
ae Glynn schools to their present
;high state of efficiency.
HENRY FORD AND POLITICS.
Although great admirers Of Henr.
Ford, the general sentiment througl
out the country, the South,- especiallj
s that he will not be drawn any deep
cr into the political maelstrom than
he is. It is agreed t: at Mr. Ford car
serve his countrymen to far greate
uivantage as a promoter of industrial
enterprises than he could in any pci
iitical position, not excepting the pres
idenev of the United States, for which
office his name has been insistently
mentioned by the press in many se
dons of the country.
Mr. Ford has never expressed him
self as to his aspirations to be presi
lent, in fact, it is seriously doubtet
f he ever seriously contemplated of
,'ering for the office, and the present
igitation will in all probability sooi
tie of its own inertia. The Albany
Ga., Herald, in deprecating the sug
gestion of the Detroit manufacturer’s
>ntry into the race, if he really con
dders the matter seriously, very op
nortunely says:
“We realy hope the political hut
won’t bite Henry Ford. He is a gooi
anil useful citizen, we believe, am
in many ways a most remarkable man
Hit he probably is not as well quali
iied to discharge the duties of high po
litical offices as he is to build chea;
automobiles and form great industria
combinations. We believe Mr. For.
s thoroughly honest which all poll
ticians are not, and that he has ii
■l's heart to serve the public, but h
can he more useful as a private cit
sen than he could as a senator, govei
tor or president. We see it stated tha
-*r. Ford has recently indicated tha
he is “in a receptive mood" concerniiij
he presidency, and is willing to rui
f it shall be indicated that the peopfi
want him to run. There are plenty o
oiks in the country who will be ;la(
o make it appear to the Detroit man
ifanturer that it is his Christian duty
to make the sacrifice, but we hope h
won’t believe them. He has done ver.
well as an industrial pioneer. 1-Ie ha:
taught the country some valuable les
sons in the art of putting efficiency
nto a great organization, treating em
ployes well and turning out a product
which sells for a reasonable price. In
cidentally, he has amassed a great for
une which he seems disposed to use
unselfishly, and getting into politic:
would spoil bis chance to be a very
lelpful member of society. For Mr
Ford is probably lacking in those qual
fieations which a man must have If hi
s to be as outstanding a figure in
lie realm of statesmanship as he is
in the field of progressive industry.”
OLD GUARD WALLOPED AGAIN.
The situation with what is known as
he “old guard’’ in tire Republican par
ty grows worse and worse. Those ok
standpat leaders who so thoroughly
controlled the Republican national
convention at Chicago in 1920 and
nominated Harding for president are
‘getting it in the neck” on every side,

Their recent severe defeats in In

more than duplicated in the senatorial

Tiion. Here the regulars have mostly
held full sway, controlling elections as
they pleased and naming all candi
dates for office. But what happened
to them in Tuesday’s primaries?
Smith W. Brookheart, designated
as “daringly Progressive,” has polled
H per cent of a total vote ,of 289,084,
vith another candidate in the field
unning on a similar platform. The
ombined vote of the two Progressive
candidates is a good majority of the
ota] vote cast.
Mr. Brookhart’s victory is the more
significant as he stands for things that
he stand-patters absolutely abhor.
r or instance, in his platform are such
hings as “elimination of the middle
nan as the most sinister figure in
American life, to give way to a better
leal for the city and farm worker;
tovernment ownership of railroads,
•o-operative buying and selling, pro
dominance of the farmer and other
iroducers on the Federal Reserve
Board, that they may control the coun
ty's credit,” which he contends is
ightfuly theirs. Such principles as
hese are enough to make the average
Wall street financier hold up his hands
u holy horror. His platform sounds
;s though it had been written by a
land of Southern farmers gathered to
gether in a political meeting.
The splendid success of such a can
lidate in the rock-ribbed Republican
fate of lowa is a most encouraging
iign to the Democrats who stand loi
lmost all of the things as Brookhart.
it shows a trend of sentiment in
Northern states that should he most
encouraging to the Democrats, for
(uch principles are diametrically op
posite to th ;se of the national admin
istration us at present constituted.
AND THIS IS CALLED JUSTICE.
Many crimes are committed in the
name of justice, in which the young,
as well as the adult are often times
he victim. That is almost an incred
ible story that comes from Philadel
phia in which it is related that five
boys were hailed into a court of jus
ice on charges of burglary, the old
st being only eight years of age.
In referring to this disgrace, in tic
nae of justice, the Valdosta Times re
ers to the incident as follows:
“Five boys, the oldest eight years
if age, brought into a court in Phila
delphia, charged with burglary. Fiv"
children, babies almost, made to suffer
the disgrace of arrest and imprison
ment at the house of detention for en
tering a mattress factory and taking
goods, which the owner said were
worth about $250, but which were not
worth $5 to anyone except the owner,
most of the supposed “loot” consisting
of papers of value.
The officer who arrested them, the
attorney who appeared against them,
the man who accused them ouirt
to hang their heads in shame for their
part in the tragedy—for it is a trag
dy. One of the hoys was but live year:
old, and what man believes that a baby
of that age understands the right or
wrong of his act? Who would accuse
such a child of the henious crime ol
burglary?
If it were noi so serious it would
be laughable, but it is no laughing mat
ter to place a stain on the name of t
boy at the very start of life—a stair
that will remain so long as he lives. It
may be Jhgijjjea ns (p/ ttbesir
boVs, 'at 'some' ofAttenv jto' v *.ji °f
crime—and the real stigma should rest
with those who did it.
Justice does not demand the impris
onment of babies, such proceeding ’
disgrace the state, thercity and Hip ::
dtvfduals taking part.
